Interim Quality Engineer – Ideal Replacement for Missing Employee

Starting Monday, December 18th, our interim quality engineer begins work at our client’s facility. His role involves monitoring and verifying supplier quality, which has an indirect impact on final product quality.

The interim manager will actively collaborate with suppliers and inspect incoming materials including all certifications. Additionally, he is tasked with improving and ensuring quality processes.


Thanks to his involvement, the client has the space and time to find the right employee who will become a permanent part of their team. Once the new employee starts, our interim will hand over all responsibilities and depart.

Interim replacements are very popular this year, with half of our projects being temporary assignments for missing employees. The quality sector has long suffered from a shortage of personnel across all regions. Finding an employee is typically quite lengthy and can take six months or more. The department is then crippled by understaffing, and rapid deployment of an interim helps significantly improve the situation.

Do you need help with your team? We are here for you. Whether it's short-term coverage or solving complex situations, Big Interim is your partner for interim management.

Successful projects

Over the past few weeks I've been watching a series of acquisitions in Czech business. Smaller, honestly built companies are merging with bigger players, founders stay on board as co-owners, and both sides talk about shared values and joint growth. On paper it looks like a textbook example of healthy consolidation, but post-acquisition integration is what decides whether the investment pays off. In practice, that's exactly the moment that decides whether an acquisition will be a case study of successful growth five years from now, or a quiet example of wasted potential.
Over the past several years I've seen one pattern in practice that keeps repeating more and more often: the owner of a company he built in the early nineties suddenly realizes he has no one to hand it to. This isn't an isolated individual story — it's a demographic wave that's only just starting to roll through the Czech economy, and so far almost no one is really talking about it. And the longer we stay quiet about it, the more it will eventually cost us.
Over the past few weeks I've been watching one pattern repeat itself in business. Traditional manufacturing companies that ran on the same model for decades are suddenly facing a sharp drop in demand, expensive inputs, and tougher competition. Some weather it thanks to quality, a strong brand, and loyal customers. Others end up in insolvency, or after a hundred years in business decide to close voluntarily. When I look at how this happens, I keep seeing the same mistake — help arrives too late.
